It's a week since #farmers blocked the highways leading to Delhi, protesting against the Narendra Modi government’s new #farmlaws. Newslaundry's Nidhi Suresh speaks to Balbir Singh Rajewal, president of the #BharatiyaKisanUnion, who is also one of the leaders who met agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday.

Rajewal talks about the farm laws, the farmers’ concerns, and why they are asking for legislation to guarantee the minimum support price.

The farmers are set to meet the government for another round of talks on Wednesday.
